Cyclone Hockey competes against No. 2 Central Oklahoma Bronchos on Jan. 30 to 31 for the first of its last two weekends before the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament.
Here are some players watch:
Trevor Lloyd, forward: Lloyd had five points in the Illinois series only three weeks ago. Look for him to get back on track against an exceptional Central Oklahoma team.
Scott Antonsen, forward: Antonsen had himself an impressive weekend against Iowa, grabbing four points and a hat trick Jan. 23 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.
Scott Ismond, goalie: Ismond will be manning the net for Jan. 30 to 31 and beyond as Matt Cooper will be playing in Spain for the World University Games. He has put up an impressive .958 save percentage and .93 goals against on the season. He is 6-1 with three shutouts in 10 games.
Players who won’t be in the lineup:
Matt Cooper, goalie: As mentioned above, Cooper will be donning the red, white and blue at the World University Games in Granada, Spain. Head coach Jason Fairman said it will be a tough loss but has no trouble with putting Ismond in net.
J.P. Kascsak, forward: Kascsak will be joining Cooper in Spain. He has 11 goals and eight assists on the season. Fairman said that players will have to step up to fill Kascsak’s absence.
